I was not gonna spend $1500 for Google glasses, but $300 for a Rayban isn't bad.

- AlecSchueler 3y agoMy understanding was that the pushback was based on people's discomfort around other people wearing these things, hence the "glasshole" name being used.
- soylentcola 3y agoThese don't even have the (more interesting, IMO) part though - the HUD. Glass was obviously an early experimental design with loads of shortcomings, but at least in concept, a personal HUD was fairly interesting. I didn't care about the camera and found it disappointing that it was the only part people seemed to focus on. Isn't this just the camera/mic bit without the cool part, tied to a Facebook/Meta account instead of a Google one? I agree $1500 was a bit steep for something barely above prototype level, but this is basically an earbud/mic that allows me to take hands-free photos - something I do maybe a few times per year.
